BEWARE OF STRETCHING THE TRUTH

Many lies are not bald-faced whoppers. Most are just exaggerations, like the following ones uttered by pastors:

• I want your honest feedback.

• I could be happy pastoring this church for the rest of my ministry.

• Call me at home anytime.

• It won’t take much of your time.

• My spouse would love to.

• To one’s spouse: The calendar will lighten up in a week or so.

• To a critic: It took a lot of courage for you to share that with me.

• To another pastor: I hear only good things about your church.
